Saturday turned out to be a busy day. Tidy the house (sort of), work, grocery shop, take Daphne to the park, hem pants for a friend, make pizza!
We LOVE pizza at our house. I make it almost once a week. So here is the secret recipe:
Crust:
2 1/4 cups Flour (I used a combination of whole wheat and soy flour)
1 Tbsp Sugar
1 Tsp Salt
1 pkg (1 Tbsp) Active dry yeast
1 cup Warm water
2 Tbsp Melted butter or Olive oil
In mixing bowl, combine flour, yeast, sugar and salt. Add water and oil. Mix well. Add more flour, enough to form a soft dough. Knead on a floured surface for 4 minutes. Streatch onto a greased pizza pan. (I find this recipe make a thick dough. I usually double it to make 3 pizzas or sick to the recipe and make 1 and a mini one.)
Cook for 6 min. at 350. Remove from oven and add sauce and toppings.
Sauce:
8 oz can of tomato sauce
1 tsp Oregano (My all time favorite spice)
1 tsp Sage
1 tsp minced Garlic
1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (I actually use a garlic red pepper sauce) -skip this if you don't want it spicy
Toppings:
(In the order i like them on the pizza...I am pickier than my husband is when he does it)
Sauce
1/4 cup Diced onions
(This is where we would add 1/4 lb Pepperoni if we weren;t making a vegetarian pizza)
3-4 cup raw spinach.
16 oz package Mozerella Cheese
generous sprinkle of Nutritional yeast (this is a great protein for Vegetarians)
1 small thinly sliced zuchinni
1/4 cup sliced black olives
1/4 cup chopped artichoke hearts
1/4 cup mushrooms
1/4 sliced Bell pepper
2 sliced Roma tomoatoes
Return to oven and cook for 20 min.
Bon Appetit!
(Before cooking. The spinach really shrinks down when it is cooked...so be generous)
